Port area

In order for trainees to gain hands-on experience of spill response in ports and harbours during practical training sessions, Cedre has set up a realistic port area.

Two aluminium pontoons 9 metres long by 3 metres wide, brought from Concarneau harbour, have been given a second lease of life at Cedre. After being adapted, the pontoons were equipped with a gangway, a fuel station and a power supply pedestal.

This module also features permanent booms, deflectors and various mooring and emergency containment arrangements so that the trainees can tackle a variety of spill scenarios by implementing different technical solutions.
